Why Live in QUEZON CITY?



Quezon City offers a wide range of residential choices – from the very affordable, socialized housing communities, to comfortable middle-income residential enclaves, to posh, upscale subdivisions.   The types of homes are just as diverse – from single-detached units, to mansions, to mid-rise housing units to high-rise condominiums.

Residential areas in the South and West Triangles arose when housing pressures from a growing population resulted in the reduction of the area originally assigned to the Quezon Memorial Park, which were assigned to housing by the Philippine Housing and Homesite Corporation (PHHC) under President Elpidio Quirino in 1951.

Now, this Timog area has become highly commercialized, but with a mix of sprawling residential units and condominiums living in close proximity to long rows of restaurants and entertainment centers.  The place also has a scatter of physical fitness centers, spas and innovative therapeutic facilities.

Reducing the city's carbon footprint

Because of the local government’s concern about climate change, the development strategy is towards the development of highly pedestrianized environments, to reduce the city’s overall carbon footprint.  Thus, the trend in the city now is towards residential areas integrated with the basics and desirable amenities of daily living and with office/work environments.  Examples of these include:

Eastwood City is a “city within a city,” which supports a digital lifestyle.  A resident can conveniently do banking, order food from restaurants, order products from other stores in this community, connect with others within and outside the cyberneighborhood, and transact business without having to leave the confines of his residential unit.

Araneta Center is a highly transit-oriented mixed-use community; with high-rise residential areas now more interspersed in densely commercial areas.

Eton Centris is an emerging mixed-use complex in the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue. It epitomizes the vibrant live-work-shop-play concept and supports green architecture and sustainable lifestyle practices. 

Already, the masterplanned complex is dotted with several leisure and retail establishments, plus a mini playground with a carousel. The planned three-tower Ascent is poised to become the first transit-oriented luxury condominium in the new Quezon City central business district.

Nurturing campus neighborhoods

Traversing Katipunan Avenue to the Ortigas areas will bring you to neighborhoods of campuses, offices of nongovernment organizations, purveyors of lifestyle amenities, restaurants, places of worship, and various commercial establishments.  Housing is a mix of compact bungalows, sprawling homes, townhouses, condominiums and dormitories (mostly catering to students and teachers).

Teacher’s Village and UP Village are so-called because they are subdivisions so close to schools and universities.  The commercial establishment-rimmed Katipunan Avenue also provides links to the gated subdivisions of the well-to-do, where land parcels provide for more spacious homes and higher levels of privacy, such as La Vista, White Plains, Green Meadows, and Corinthian Gardens.  These have convenient access to the Ortigas Centre – locating residents within easy reach of offices, commercial stores, restaurants, banks, shopping malls, and more schools and churches.
